Never Forget.

I don't often go all serious here on my blog, but there are occasions where even the silliest of bloggers and people need to take a moment from the laughter, and observe a moment of silence. There are times in our lives where we know exactly where we were, and exactly what we were doing at a single moment. Sometimes these moments are happy moments, others leave you sad. September 11, 2001 was one of those latter moments, and will be a scar on the memories and hearts of the citizens of our country for as long as we live. I personally didn't know anyone that died on that fateful day, but it still stays with me year after year. It's hard to believe it's been 9 years. I was a junior in college, sitting in my video editing class when we got the news. We were stunned, thought that it was a joke, that nothing could possibly happen to the superpower that is the USA. Sadly, it was true, and the world lost 2,977 innocent people that day during the attack on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, on United Flight 93, and their aftermath. We lost friends, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, loved ones, and, to an extent, a sense of security. I know that this is just a 'nail blog', but today's design is dedicated to those lost and injured, the firemen, policemen, and everyone else who helped on this sad day in our nation's history...you are NOT forgotten.

Sometimes, it's so hard to fathom....almost 3,000 people dead. In one day.And we weren't even at war or anything...it was just a normal day with everyone going about their business. People are so horrible sometimes. :(

I am Brazilian, but was shocked by the news and even today when I see the scene feel much sadness, it seemed like it was yesterday the scene of the movie, but unfortunately it was true.We can only forward the peace for that outrages like this are not repeated.

I was in my second year at Art College and had stumbled in to school that morning having not listened to the news or anything, to see televisions set up in the foyer. This was not unusual for my school. Always art projects in the halls. I took it to be just that. Then I couldn't figure out why there were so many people just milling about and nobody in the classrooms. Once it started to sink in I just kept watching the footage and my stomach turned inside out. My heart broke for everyone who was waiting to hear about loved ones. So many souls.

One of my profs that day gave us an assignment to react to the day's events. THE BUILDINGS WERE STILL BURNING and he kept pontificating about how we should be using it as fuel to inspire us. I don't think he realized how much of a jerk he really sounded like.

I was in 6th grade when it happened. I came late to school and rushed to my social studies class. When I walked in, everyone was quiet and I thought we were watching a movie. My teacher really didn't pay any attention to me, so I just sat down. It took a few minutes and the second plane flying into the building for me to realize this was real. You're right, it's so weird. I don't even remember my 16th birthday so crystal clear like I remember the day of 9/11.

I'm from the UK, and I still remember the day as if it was yesterday. I came home from school, and turned on my kids TV to find the news on, i was gutted at the time cos i wanted my tv on, and i didnt even know what the twin towers were. Its amazing, and terrifying, to think that a few peoples selfish actions can affect the whole world like it has. This is a lovely tribute, well done!! :)

I'm from the UK and I remember the day vividly. I was at work when the first plane hit the world trade centre and watched the events of the day unfold on tv when I got home from work. The first news footage wasn't censored and both I and my kids who were only small (10 and 6) all remember the horror. Sending love and respect to all those who lost loved ones on that horrific day.

I love your blog, you are very talented and imaginative. Your blog is my first port of call when I wake each morning as it sets a good vibe for the rest of the day! And the message to anonymous "if you don't like the blog don't visit it"!!

Thank you for this. I was home when it happened, down on Long Beach Island, NJ. My mother had died about two weeks before and her memorial service was Sept. 8th. So I was already in morning. When it happened, I had friends who worked in the area to worry about and it turns out, friends & family of friends, too. My brother is a voluteer EMT in Stafford Township, NJ. He went up there that to volunteer to help. They turned him away that day, but took his contact info and called him and 5 of his squad mates up to work it on the 13th.
